We met Cherita and Zeus initially a few weeks ago and they wanted to get their Chicago Lincoln Park Engagement Photography session finished straight away so that they can make their save the dates. I am so happy the weather cooperated with amazing vibrant ombré hues of a sunset.

Before heading around town, we met them at Atomix Cafe, in Ukrainian Village for a few shots at a coffee shop, astronaut mural included. Thank you Atomix for letting us take a few photos at your awesome coffee shop space.
Cherita and Jesus’ wedding is going to be AMAZING! A blend of Mexican and Indian cultures, from henna to a mariachi band. I cannot wait for their festivities and to see which family traditions they will put together. Eeek! Okay, onto the ombré hued amazingness.
My favorite set- these two horizontal bits of loveliness. Cheri, your eyes are mesmerizing.

Eeeek! Emily! I spy an amazing Anthropologie dress on this beautiful lady. These two blue eyed lovelies picked the perfect outfits to compliment their dreamy eyes.

For their Cityscape Chicago Engagement Session, we spent the afternoon around North Avenue beach before heading down to Pilsen for a few more colorful locations the match Emily’s beautiful dress.

Amanda and Tom are the most amazing smiley people that we’ve ever shot. Seriously, every picture looks like absolute joy at their Promontory Point wedding. I mean, you remember their engagement session at Indiana Dunes State Park with the dune jumping? Indeed.
Amanda and Tom got ready in West Town, to make sure to have the chance to have a few shots where they originally met- at The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, before the wedding. With their ceremony and reception at the lovely Promontory Point on Chicago’s South Side, they simply moved the ceremony indoors and opened up the hall’s French doors, while enjoying cocktail hour outside.
It was the most perfect weather for a lakeside wedding! The sky was so clear, you could see the cityscape along the shore, which allowed for the perfect bike-ride on their new tandem bike. The perfect dress for the perfect bike!

Mary Beth and Sam’s Chicago Maxim’s Lincoln Park wedding was an absolute blast. We love outdoor park weddings in Chicago. I mean, look at the amazing greenery?! And with Mary Beth’s vintage wedding dress paired with flowers from Asrai Garden, it’s a guaranteed day of non-stop lovely. And Sam’s suit was quite amazing as well. This wedding had some of my most favorite dance shots of all time. Maxim’s made it quite easy though, it’s such an intimate reception space, and was perfect for their theme. Congrats with everything in Colorado you two!Champaigne Grapes in the bouquet? Yes!

Sarah and JD had their wedding at the eclectic Chicago Catalyst Ranch. Colors, knick-knacks and hulahoops were everywhere. And it was a bright and sunny day for this wedding to take place- along with the fact that it was the same weekend as the G8 Summit held here in Chicago. But! the streets were actually empty! Which was pretty amazing for Chicago summer traffic.
Sarah’s Jenny Yoo dress fit like a glove, and the pinks, yellows and grays were a perfect match to Catalyst Ranch’s array of colors.

Love this guy. He really knew how to make use of his time at Sarah and JD’s Chicago Catalyst Ranch Wedding.

G8 summit? yes, one of their meeting points was outside Catalyst Ranch’s windows.
